Blitz - Nur Spec R Exhaust Cat Back System

Read the page before making more stupid threads.

Your post isn't cool. People aren't going to learn anything about their car if you guys always assume new people know what you might know.

anjoO - I haven't had any dealings with Just Jap before, but if you just take the trip out there and inspect the parts to make sure they meet the quality you are after I don't see a problem with it.. and if you don't know what you are looking for, perhaps ask one of the older members of the forum who'll know a little more (I'm no expert! lol but I do know a few things!)

I personally go for the quality over the price, I went to Hi-Tech at Darlinghurst for my dump pipe and cat, had a few problems with the part but they fixed it up in no time at all at no extra charge. I would recommend them in a second to anyone wanting exhausts done but again, inspect the part first!

Hope this helps.

Liz.

what he said.

a $5 bit of 3" pipe will flow just as good as a $100 bit of 3" pipe. the better exhausts can have better mufflers, so they quieten (is that a word?) down better. the cheap systems are sometimes louder than the better stuff, but flow the same. if not better than some. most of the cheap systems (cat back) are pretty straight. some of the better ones have a s bend right before the rear muffler to create a bit more back pressure and quieten them down more.

just so you understand how a muffler works (in case you don't), the tubing through the muffler has holes in it. the muffler is packed with a material to soak up the noise. as the air passes through some of it goes into the muffler, while a lot of it keeps going. the more pressure the air is creating in the piping, the more that goes into the muffler. imagine cutting a small hole in a hose, and that the hole is the muffler and the hose is the exhaust. at low pressure not much water comes out the hole. now if you squeeze the end of the hose and let less water come out, more comes out the hole. that is how those restrictors work that go in the end of the cannon type mufflers.

an exhaust is an exhaust - as long as it works i can't see any jsutification on paying a high price

Doesn't the price often dictates how well it works...quite often this is the case.

I also said, aslong as the quality of parts meet what you are after and you have actually inspected them all should be fine...checking for things that could obstruct air flow.

I am however talking mainly with relation to dump pipes...but I suppose the same principles apply.

ahh see this turned out to be a really helpful thread in the end :grouphug:

Lets face it when you search for "exhaust" with the default search settings you get 172 threads returned....and none of them explain each component

anjoO, if you appreciate the information you got in the thread, why not post a thread in the faq section with the information and a pic of an example of each component....to help out future people looking for this info.

lol yeh i guess i might....wen i have the time.

but yeh back to the topic. the thing is im lookning at a $950 branded muffler + $400 for a cat + another $450 for a front/dump pipe. dats nearli 2g just for a turbo back. and then i look at just jap 950 bux.......sounds fishy.

i always go for quality over price......but it just makes me wonder whats so different between the 2 to make it such a big difference in price. :teehee:

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Sounds like the perfect excuse to buy a quickjack.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
